INGREDIENTS
- ½ cup raw cashews
- ½ cup nutritional yeast
- ¼ cup potato flour
- ½ cup water
- 1 teaspoon garlic granules
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 Yukon Gold potatoes
DIRECTIONS
- Preheat oven to 450°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small blender, add all of the ingredients except the potatoes. Blend until creamy. Pour the batter into a large casserole dish or mixing bowl.
- Slice the potatoes in half lengthwise, and then slice each half lengthwise into 3 to 4 wedges. Each wedge should be around ½ to ¾-inch thick.
- Add the sliced potatoes to a pot and fill it with enough water to cover an inch above the potatoes. Bring the water to a boil. Once it’s boiling, cook the potatoes for 5 minutes. They should be starting to soften in the middle, but still not fully cooked.
- Strain the potatoes and then carefully submerge the potatoes in the batter. Dipping just a few of the potatoes at a time will help prevent them from breaking.
- Spread the coated potato wedges onto the baking sheet in an even layer, ideally leaving space between the wedges. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping once halfway through.
- Pull them out when they are golden brown and crispy. Serve immediately—these fries are best straight from the oven.
